Inspire Me: Concentration Boosters!
Children Love Mindfulness!
And teachers love the calm these activities bring after energetic playtimes!
Settling children down to a serious reading session or problem solving in numeracy can be an uphill challenge after a fun-filled playtime of dashing about and chasing games. Not any more at Springhill Primary where teachers use a short mindfulness activity after every break.
The outcome – stunning! Children are ready to settle, listen and concentrate!
“Having our Mindfulness signs on the playground gives us an ideal way to transition from the hurly-burly of playtime and lunchtime to the quiet focus of the classroom and children see the activities as a treat which is a bonus!” - Mrs Smith (4th Class - Rang a Ceathar - Age 9-10/10-11)
“A different child at the end of each break chooses which mindfulness activity we will do before the start of the next lesson. Pencil balancing is the current favourite – it is amazing to see children concentrate so hard and it is overflowing into concentration during lessons – brilliant!” - Miss Church (Second Class - Rang a Dó - Age 7-8/8-9)
